50 Best Bars near Hoffman Estates

“I spent 3 nights here. The hotel is really nice in my opinion. First night was a Friday night. Ordered some alcoholic drinks that were really good. The Thai calamari & Louie burger and fries. Food was great, bartenders that night were really great. Second night. Different crew and the restaurant was pretty packed believe the Milwaukee brewers were playing the cubs to wrap up the series. So yea that was the atmosphere of that night vs Friday night super lowkey fast service. Obviously it was harder to get served that night. I got burnt tenders and the wrong food . So I had to return it immediately. Which was already after waiting an extensive time to even get water to our table. So yea took away from the experience overall. Each visit spent over 100$. Oh and I got that chocolate cake dessert, it was nasty. They had breakfast. Breakfast was good . However, we were told that breakfast came with the room. Every morning we went down for it. The morning of our departure we were met at our table (after we already began eating) how we were going to pay for the food. Nobody discussed / disclosed that you had to have a voucher or pay at the desk. We were told at check in it was covered. Obviously had to escalate it . Still felt like an explanation was not clear. I pretty much answered it myself. So the communication of the staff to customer could definitely use some work. Overall stay was good . Hotel was nice and clean. Only took pics of the good looking food from Friday night & the breakfast.“

“What a pleasant change from all the chain restaurants. The owner is someone who loves what he does, takes time to visit your table, and serves recipes handed down from his grandmother and mother. The food is prepared using the freshest of ingredients. The noise level enabled us to easily carry on a conversation. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.“

“Me and my husband went there this past Friday with our two kids to have dinner. It was our first time there and for a Friday it was surpisingly not busy. Maybe that is because of all the outdoor festivals that is going on now. But as soon as we sat down a a short Blonde server who was dressed in all black greeted us and gave us menus. Our server was very nice and told us the specials and what pop products they have. We asked her what does she recommend from here. She then told us that they are well known for their broasted wings and broasted chicken dinner. I then asked what is her favorite from the menu. She said the chicken avocado melt, the wings and broasted chicken dinner. So we chose the wings and the chicken avocado melt. She then told us about their summer special that kids eat free, one kids meal per one adult order of an Entree on Friday, Saterday and Sunday from 4 pm to 7 pm. We told her wow that is a nice special. This place is huge and has alot of Arcade games, Air Hockey, Basketball hoop game, Darts and other games to occupy the kids. They have tons of projector T.V. and flat T.V. and have on all types of sports to watch since it is a sports bar and grill. All we can say was that our server did not let us down. She was spot on with her recommendations as the wings were big, juicy and delicouse. As well as the chicken avocado melt was just so good. Also the kids liked their meals and the free Ice cream that came with it. Overall we enjoyed our dinner, our time there, and the service. We just found a new spot that we will be comming back too.“

“Wonderful place to have a meal. The Dunkley Burgers is awesome!“

“Came here for the first time recently. Don't know why it took so long! We live close by. Great onion rings and pizza, good fast service, enjoyed the free popcorn too! Very nice, clean atmosphere. Will definitely come again!“

“I love this small and friendly piano bar. It has a great atmosphere and wonderful staff. My favorite part is the live music, especially Jeannie Tanner and Abigail Riccards.“

“Great food and great servers!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Excellant karaoke dj. Great food great prices, very friendly staff“

“Definitely a very calm atmosphere. This place is a gaming area and on the weekends it turns into like a small flea market period There is a Mexican restaurant to the left side of the building and a bingo area to the right side of the building you can get all authentic Mexican food and enjoy some time with family and friends for dinner at their nice restaurant that they have it's definitely worth a trip. Due to the many facilities that they have attached to each other I'm not exactly sure about the hours so that you'd have to double check me for leaving.“

“Great entertainment for a night out. Throwback songs and originals. Quality entertainment with a friendly atmosphere.“

“Great atmosphere and good food“

“Well that was the messiest, tastiest 15 minutes of my life! Those BBQ chicken wings served at the bar were beyond excellent.
The bar staff here are very helpful, friendly and funny. Service is brisk! A very enjoyable experience, one that i want to repeat. We'll done!“

“We love everything about D&J Bistro! The atmosphere, the food, the staff, it’s our favorite restaurant and it’s perfect every time. 💛🍾“

“We dine here regularly because the seafood specials never disappoint. I just hosted a 60th party with 35 people in front bar area and as expected - the food was excellent and the service was excellent. The guests were impressed across the board. Very comfortable and inviting environment for an event. Fantastic local bar and restaurant.“

“I've always enjoy Madcats meals since they've opened and the chef specials have always been out of the park yum. This past weekend was super busy with travel and squeezing in crazy workouts. I've never ordered 2 meals in 1 night but I arrived hungry. Both meals were amazing and I wanted protein with fiber for my recovery meal. I'm looking forward to other dishes on my future visits. I'm posting my dinner plates in the comment below.“

“Great food and service! Really good people!“

“It's been over two weeks since my family and I visited The Polish American Bistro. It would be remiss of me not to leave a wonderful review of this lovely restaurant! Ania and Darek, the owners, are the nicest and most hospitable people ever! Since I have family in Poland, it was fun to talk to them about their homeland. Now about their food . . . it's completely amazing! I ordered galumpki (ground beef and rice wrapped in cabbage). The tomato sauce on top was so delicious, it spun circles around the sauce my grandma used to make (sorry, Grandma!)! My husband ate a breaded pork cutlet with mashed potatoes. SO tasty! And my daughter opted for a cheeseburger that looked and tasted so great that we even returned the next day to order another cheeseburger to go! Our entrees were accompanied by a side of two types of salad - one made of marinated red cabbage, and the other was their super delectable authentic Polish sour cream, cucumbers and dill. As you can tell, our dinner itself was a 5-star experience. Last but not least, I must discuss their DESSERTS! When you walk into Ania and Darek's restaurant, your eyes will immediately be drawn to their multi-tier display of desserts. Unfortunately, since our stomachs were full after our delicious dinner, we couldn't even think of dessert. However, take-home was still an option! So I asked Ania to escort me to the dessert case and tell me about her sweet treats. It turns out she owns a bakery in another suburb, and all the desserts are made on location at the bakery FROM SCRATCH! So we took a few home (see photo), ate them the next evening, and they did not disappoint! I loved them all, especially the vanilla custard inside the eclair and fruit tart! The chocolately hazelnut dessert was a Kinder Bueno torte. I want to go back and try more of these amazing treats! You should really go check out The Polish American Bistro, whether or not you are Polish! They have food for everyone. Dziękuję Ania and Darek!“

“was there for my sister's 70th birthday party. outstanding staff and service personnel. Such wonderful service and food. I recommend it to all.“

“Awesome third story bar located an elevator ride up from historic Metropolis in beautiful Arlington Heights, IL. Great place to see some local music and maybe dance along to a DJ on Friday night. Newly renovated stage with a dart board and pool table. Great place to host a birthday party or to meet with old friends.“

“The 2 ladies in the front desk are super friendly... super nice, make our party become memorable. They, so passionate to take orders from 18 person, taking care of us with smiles 😃... we love them. After eat, we moved to karaoke 🎤 room...“
